A showcase, Learning and Product Development, will be hosted by the students as they present their final projects. It will take place in the Olathe Northwest commons on April 30 from 5:30-7:30 p.m.

Students chose one of four forms for their projects: musical, digital, interactive or visual. The purpose was to use a form of communication that speaks to others around their age.
